Strategic Plan
In Fall of 2010 the Community Foundation undertook an in-depth strategic planning process to build on the momentum of a new era in leadership. A look at the community foundation field, in-depth personal interviews with community staekholders and fund holders, a survey of nonprofit agencies in Monterey County, a focus group of community leaders and staff working sessions all helped shape the plan. Our thanks to the David and Lucile Packard Foundation for their support of this work. A new vision, mission, and values emerged as well as three main goals.
Vision
Healthy, safe vibrant communities
Mission
To inspire philanthropy and be a catalyst for strengthening communities throughout Monterey County
Strategic Plan Goals:
Goal One: Community Impact
Invest in developing healthy, safe and vibrant communities across Monterey County
Goal Two: Philanthropic Leadership
Inspire and facilitate philanthropy throughout Monterey County
Goal Three: Operational Excellence
Optimize performance and stewardship for maximum impact
